Symposium at the Museum of Modern Art

On Monday, I co-delivered a collaborative presentation of archival research at a Symposium at the Museum of Modern Art on the subject of European architectural modernism, Alfred Barr's museum-as-a-torpedo-moving-through-time (pictured above), and geometrical vs. n(E)on geometrical strains of abstract art.

Correspondence from Katherine Dreier (of the Société Anonyme) to Alfred H. Barr, dated February 7, 1937, regarding the installation design of exhibition Fantastic Art, Dada, & Surrealism:

"It seemed as if you had deliberately hung the pictures to give the emphases to the abnormal. It was most painful...people left your exhibition feeling wuzzy!”

My Cocktail Hat's Off to Vaginal Davis

Ms. Vaginal Davis, queer sensationalist extraordinaire and topic of my most recent paper on spectacularism, has recently been named the recipient of the 2009 Performance Space 122 Ethyl Eichelberger Award, bestowed upon "an artist who exemplifies Ethyl's larger-than-life style and generosity of spirit; who embodies Ethyl's multi-talented artistic virtuosity, bridging worlds and inspiring those around them." The award will facilitate the staging of a spectacular by the artist at P.S. 122 in the spring. New York City lies in wait of her neo-cabaret confetti.
